Our little CiCi
I got CiCi in 1993 from my father and step-mother for my birthday while in Texas. He was the last birthday gift I got from my father and step-mother because the both passed away a couple months later. In the meantime my husband and I lost our loving Taffy to cancer (within 3 weeks of being diagnosed with prostate cancer). CiCi was only 2 years old when I got him. My parents rescued him from a abusive situation and he wouldn't take to them but he took to me. I feel that he knew what I was going through with the loss of Taffy and he filled the empty spot in my heart. I paid for a airline ticket and flew him back home to PA with me. He was loved by everyone who met him during the years he was with me. He was always by my side and he never let anyone he didn't know get near me. He was his daddy's little buddy. CiCi and his daddy had a ritual that they would do. Daddy would walk into the bedroom shuffling his feet and CiCi would start barking while in his bed and his bed would bounce all the way to the bathroom door (it was so funny to watch this) and daddy would bark back. We lost CiCi on Sunday, August 13, 2006 to a stroke. It was the hardest thing I had to deal with since the passing of my folks because I felt that I lost the last link to my folks. He will always be our "little sexy butt" as that is what we nicknamed him. There will never be another Chihuahua that will be like him. My husband and I now have 2 babie Chihuahuas and they have some big shoes to fit but they will be their own little Chihuahuas. CiCi, mommy and daddy miss you so much but we know that you are in heaven with your big sister, big brother and your grandparents. You will will be a little guardian angel. We Love You.--
